Bin updated PCM Helper — ECU Coverage and PCMFlash Module Guide with a new update entry:

PCM Helper — ECU Coverage & PCMFlash Guide v1.2

What’s new in PCM Helper v1.2​

  • ECU database expanded (now ~680 ECUs) with more Bosch, Delphi, Siemens/Continental and others.
  • Pinout library increased to ~376 wiring layouts for bench/boot connections.
  • Added Car List view with model, chassis and engine information linked to each ECU.
  • Small UI refinements and search tweaks for faster lookup of ECUs, modules and pinouts.

The download itself is a human-admin/hosting issue, so posting in the thread won't restore a dead mirror. A couple of things to try first:

  • Make sure you're logged in and hit the "Sign in to download for free" button on the resource page (#285) — the file is gated behind login, so a logged-out session shows nothing.
  • Grab the current build from the resource's History tab; v1.2 is the current release and earlier versions (1.0) are still listed there if the newest link misbehaves.

If the mirror is genuinely dead (empty archive / "link not found"), that's a broken external host and only Bin or an admin can re-upload it. Report it with the exact resource link ([internal-forum-url]/r/pcm-helper-ecu-coverage-and-pcmflash-module-guide.285/), your forum username, and a screenshot of the empty download or error so they can fix the mirror.

One more thing — PCM Helper is just a reference/lookup app (PCM_Helper.exe + Readme), not the flashing tool itself, so once you get it running on Win10 64-bit it's only for looking up ECU/module IDs. What are you actually trying to flash? If you tell me the vehicle and ECU I can point you at the right coverage.

am trying to read toyota ecus on bench using module 35 with pcm tuner but i have no pinouts , therefore am looking for pcm helper to het the pinouts for denso ecus with NEC OR MPC processors

Got it — so PCM Helper is exactly the right reference for that. v1.2 added the pinout library (~376 wiring layouts) plus the Car List view, so bench pinouts for Denso are in there if the coverage matches your specific ECU.

For the download, follow what I mentioned: log in and use "Sign in to download for free" on resource #285, or pull it from the History tab. If the archive still comes up empty, report the dead mirror to Bin/admin with the resource link and a screenshot.

On the actual bench job, module 35 in PCMFlash covers a good chunk of Denso, but coverage depends on the exact ECU and MCU. To confirm the right pinout and that module 35 is actually the correct module, tell me:

  • Vehicle model/year/engine
  • Denso ECU part number (the 89663-xxxxx / Denso 275xxx-xxxx marking on the case)
  • MCU family — you said NEC or MPC, so which one, and the chip marking if you can read it

With the Denso part number I can tell you whether it's a supported bench read under module 35 and which pinout applies, rather than guessing from the processor type alone.

denso ecu part number is 89661-28E21
 

Post #12

denso ecu part number is 89661-28E21

That's a Camry/Alphard-family Denso ECU (89661-28E21 sits on the 2AZ-FE / 2.4 petrol platform), so it'll be an SH705x-class Denso, not NEC or MPC. Worth confirming the actual chip marking on the board before you wire anything, because the bench pinout follows the MCU/board layout, not the part number sticker.

Before committing to module 35: PCMFlash module 35 is Denso-oriented, but coverage for a specific 89661 unit depends on the exact internal ECU and whether it's a bench/boot read or OBD. Once you get PCM Helper running, search that 89661-28E21 (or the Denso 275xxx-xxxx marking) in the Car List / ECU view — it'll tell you the supported action (VR/R/W) and the linked module number, so you can confirm 35 is right rather than assuming.

To nail the pinout, tell me:
  • The Denso internal number (275xxx-xxxx) printed on the case
  • The main MCU marking on the board (SH7058/SH7059 etc.)

With those I can tell you if it's a supported bench read and which connector layout applies. And if PCM Helper is still downloading empty, that part is on Bin/admin — report the dead mirror with the resource link and a screenshot so they can re-up it.

ITS FROM NOAH VOXY 2008-10

Noah/Voxy 2008-10 with that 89661 fits the same 2AZ-FE Denso family, so it'll almost certainly be an SH705x-class board, not NEC/MPC — good news for module 35 since it's Denso-oriented.

But I still can't confirm the exact bench pinout from the part number alone. Two things off the actual board:

  • The Denso internal number printed on the case (275xxx-xxxx)
  • The main MCU marking on the chip (SH7058 / SH7059 etc.)

Those two decide the connector layout and whether module 35 does a real bench read or virtual only on this specific unit. Once you've got PCM Helper open, drop that 89661-28E21 into the Car List / ECU view and it'll show the linked module and supported action — post what it lists and I'll cross-check the pinout with you.
